The only identifying detail on this glass negative is its title, Rea, which comes from unverified data the Bain News Service recorded on the plate or its caption cards. Bain News Service was a New York news photo operation founded by George Grantham Bain, supplying newspapers with pictures of current events, public figures and city life in the early twentieth century. Glass negatives like this one were typically made for quick reproduction, so the plate reflects a working newsroom rather than a studio portrait.
